Tonight I take It as a text for my theme, "A Recipe for Happiness. Tha marginal reading; of this rer. Is. "Oh. the blessedness, or ha"plns. of the man that walketh not In the counsel of the unvodly. Simply and concisely, then, the recipe for happiness Is a sodly life. 1 am quite aware that some will Ques tion this bold statement. Some time aso one of our ministers In the East an nounced as his theme. "The Joy of a Godly Life." and the editor of a city newspaper called him up and asked him for a copy of the sermon for pub lication. The min ister said. "Why do you want It" The reply of the editoi W"VelU frankly, i L i think you have un- a -iBwsv dertaken a bigger Oliver 8. Basrsa. proposition than you ran prove. Personally. he continued. "I do not believe there Is much Joy In tlie godly life, at least. I have never seen It In the lives of thosa who pro test to be godly." Now. since the state ment Is questioned, you see the appro priateness of my discussing tha sub ject, and I want to take It up nnder four heads: First, the fart of unhappl tirsa: second, the causes of unhapplnesa: third, the delusions offered as remedies for man's nnhapplneae; fourth, the real remedy for unbapplness.

Now as to the fact: the discontent and the unrest of the present ace are evi dent. 1 went Into what seemed to be prosperous business place In tha city of my last pastorate, and the bead and proprietor said to me. "It la well that people grow old and die and do not live always. What la there In life, anyway? I casoot sea anything; In life." This sad word Is repeated In thousands of -places where you would not expect to hear It. The them of the politician, the novelist, tha reformer is the unrest of the people. One of tha greatest commodities of this are 'a nnhapplness. evidenced In the fact that tha number of suicides In a single year In our own country has reached 1I.S00.

There are some people so constituted physically, a kind of mercurial tem perament, that tliey are affected by the heat and the cold, and then the liver, that "kjngdom of the devil." is a source of constant annoyance, and these people are never happy unless miserable. TLaaeeesaary Misery la Stsowau Then there are people who are con stantly foreboding evil, the evil day Is sure to come, and that affords unhappi nesa. Most of you are familiar with the story of the little girl that was sitting beside tha cistern and crying as though her heart were broken. One cams along and asked: "What ara you crying about r- "Well. I was Just think ing If I should get big and get married and have a little girl and she should fall Into the cistern and get drowned, how dreadful It would be!" Now there are a great many people who are living their lives day by day in that kind of attitude towards the future, and as a consequence are quite unhappy In their lives. Then there are people who are most sensitive to tha shadows, the gray and cloudy days. I waa reading, not long ago. that butter riles are not only stupid st night, but are affected In the day time by the shadow of every passing cloud. It is the habit of Insect hunt ers to keep their eyes on the butterfly until the shadows come, when It Is apt to settle down and become mora or less torpid. How like people who seem to lose all Joy beneath the shadows and the clouds of life, and how like the butterfly hunter Is the derIL who seents to get In his very best work upon these people as they ara passing through the shadows. Then there are a great many people who are miserable because of the'.r acnleveraenta. Their wants stand be fore them day and night and they are dissatisfied until they realise their de sires. They can never be happy until tha things they are seeking are within their possession, and this is the cause of much of tha world's unhappinesa, Delfsalosks aa Re as lee Cited. Now what ara some of tba delusions offered as remedies for man's unhap pinesa? Well. I mention. In tha first place, our modern civilisation. Yon know there are people nowadays who are speaking of our civilisation aa a cure-all for all of man's, unhappinesa Now 1 Am not one of those who would minimise tba advantages of our civil isation, nor would I fall to realise the fact that many of our blessings bare ils deujajAa-atv,- . v !

Baum occupies his pulpit In Calvary Presbyterian Church every Sabbath throughout the Summer and has good audiences at each service, also at the Thursday night meeting, at which he is giving a series of talks on Presbyterian ism. His theme Sunday night will be "How the Doc trine of Election Works." Rev. U. D. Watson, of Los Angeles, will hold daily evangelistic services been purchased at a price, but I do say that our civilization, apart from God. or in defiance of God. is a gigantic failure, so far as man's happiness is concerned. My eyes fell upon some words ut tered by one of the brainiest men In America, a few weeks ago. wherein he says: "Our civilization, without that which makes It deeper and richer, is very much like the woman of the streets, holding forth In a drawing room. She is very gaudily dressed. very brilliantly painted, sparkllngly be jeweled; she smiles, she smirks, she flatters, she glitters, but her heart Is stone, her breath is poison, her ways are death." and this writer enforces his own estimate by a reference to John Burroughs, who does not hesti tate to say that "multitudes find our own. the most vulgar, the most brutal, the most cruel era the world has ever known." Stop and Think. la Plea. Now, I am not prepared to utter such severe words about our civilization, but I urge upon you this one consideration In the light-of what is disclosed by the daily press seven days of the week; also such things aa are taking place In Europe today, such things as occur on the high seas. This Is the civilization whose god la greed and commercialism, and before whose Juggernaut car men and women and children go to their death: children to their lives of pain In factories and sweatshops, and girls to a worse than death by way of man's lust. Ton ran very readily sea that civilisation with out something to make It decent will never be a remedy for man's unhap pinesa So. my friends. It Is well for us to stop at least and think about the severe words uttered by one of the brainiest men of America. In view of all that we have to say about our great modern civilization, and I want to add this as my own opinion, that our civilization spart from Almighty God. Is In Itself absolutely Incapable of satisfying hu manity, and the fact of the statement Is substantiated by perhaps a condition of today making more discontent than the world has ever known before. So I say It la a delusion for us to believe that civilization Is going to make peo ple happy. I want to mention mora definitely an other delusion, and that Is. a great many people think they can tie their contentment to something on the out side of themselves, to soma position, to some fortune, and be happy. Just as travelers tie themselves to Alpine guides and when on the Icy slopes these guides slip. they, go down to their death with them. So It Is when tying your contentment or happiness to any material object outside of you: the moment that thing goes down on ll 8 will! ' " It S & , 4 1 ! V'sxs.'r II Xaw,.

Sunday achool: 11. preaching aerv- the Icy slopes of uncertainty, your happiness and your life go down with It and there is no way of avoiding it Teach lag of Christ Quoted. Oh. the blessedness, the happiness of a man! What does that mean? It means that it is a tate of the soul on the inside of life, and the very center of "our being Is the place of our happi ness. That Is why Jesus Christ said In this connection: "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soulr' That Is wny. when the man there in the Gospels said to Jesus: "Master, speak to my brother that he divide the Inheritance with me," Jesus replied, "Take heed snd beware of covetousness, for a man's life conslsteth not In the abundance of the things which he possesseth," and then he goes on to speak that mar velous parable saying: "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plen tifully, and he thought within himself saying, "what shall 1 do because I have no room where to bestov my fruits and ray goods? I will pull down my barns, and build greater, and I will say to my soul. Soul, thou has much goods laid up for many years: take thine ease, eat. drink and be merry." " Then after the picture of supreme happiness is drawn, God comes down and writes Just below the picture, "Thou fool." I do not care whether it is In the first or in the 20th century, any man or any woman who tries to tie happiness to any material posses sion is a fool, an absolute fool, in the face of all that has transpired. So that Is another delusion that is offered snd has been offered for thousands of years, and It will be the delusion of humanity for thousands of years to come. If Jesus Christ tarries that long. That Is why we have the old story -of Alex ander, who conquered the world, and Ihen sat down and wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Third Delusioa Is Considered. This Is Carlyle'a thought in speaking of the two bootblacks: the world has been cnt Into two parts and one-half given to each of them, and Carlyle says, "you can never make these two bootblacks permanently happ-" So If you have an ambition. If young men or young women, have an ambition to be happy in that way. It is a delusion. I sometimes wonder In the face of these things, how much longer humanity will trample the divine wisdom under foot and scramble on to disappointment and to misery in the life here. Now there is still a third delusion in regard to our happiness that is becom ing very prevalent these days. It is what someone has called "Mental twaddle." much in vogue today as It was thousands of years ago. One says "Now so cunning are we in religious hocus-pocus, some call It New Thought , 3 i Missionary Alliance. Miss Grace Allen, the blind singer, will assist with the I music.

The delusion is this: ignore sin, there is none; ignore pain, there is none; Ignore anxiety, there is none. Just as well to advise a man. "There is no such thing as depths, jump into the ocean." or. "there is no such thing as gravity, jump down from the top of Eiffel Tower." What has been nicely termed "religious hocus-pocus" is one of the most prominent features of the so-called church life on this Coast and one of the emptiest delusions humanity ever heard about. I would to God 1 could get some of you people to feel that for a little time, and that you would have courage to speak for truth, and not leave it to the pulpit, and then apologize because the pulpit mentions it. It is a sort of religious legerder maln. a sleight-of-hand performance by which a great crowd is being led on to the devil, following a delusion, a will-of-the-wlsp, hoping to find- happi ness. They never find it. because that kind of delusion will never- heal the hurt of humanity. . Real Remedy Is Profferred. Eo much for the delusions. I think I have covered the three great delu sions of the world' off ereS as remedies for man's unliappiness. Now let us ask for the real remedy for man's unhappiness. Is there any remedy? Is there an answer to the words of the dramatist: What can minuter to a mind diseased. Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow. Raze out the written troubles of the brain. And with some sweet oblivious antidote Cleanse the stult'd bosom of that perilous sturf Which weighs upon the heart? Tha dramatist's words are waiting for an answer. Can there be an an swer to that question, or is man doomed to go on to his grave in mis ery and discontent? Some empty folks have said In the spirit of Talleyrand, "The fine recipe for happiness is a hard heart and a good digestion." but we are not quite ready to accept that. So we como back to the fount of truth and life and ask: "What is the recipe for man's unhappinesa?" The recipe is a godly life. Turn over to the Sermon on the Mount. How does it begin? "Blessed, blessed, blessed." Who are the blessed? The blessed are those who have a cer tain disposition, a certain attitude of soul. Blessed are the meek. Blessed are the peace-loving. Blessed are the merciful. Blessed are the pure in heart. It is a soul attitude towards God that makes happiness, and when we have gotten to this thought, which is strict ly Biblical and in keeping with the ex periences of men who are able to speak we are prepared to ask the philosophy of it and then we go over to the Psalms and we find these beautiful cordially Invited.

Some time ago a certain student of Northfleld told this story about Dwight L. Moody: A young girl canje to Northfleld School. The girl came with her trunk and took her place in the boarding-house, but after a day or two packed her trunk again and started home. As she was going down to South Vernon station Mr. Moody met her and said: "Where are you going?' She replied: "I am going home." "Go ing home! Tou have just come.' "I know it." she said, "but I don't find the atmosphere which I want in this place." "What do you want? "Well. I want to dance: I want to play cards, and I want to go to the theater occasionally." "Well, Mr. Moody said to the girl, "I dame whenever I want to; I play cards whenever I want to: I go to shows whenever i want to. in girl looked at him with great surprise and said: "Mr. Moody, you don't seem to ever want to do any of these things here." Then Mr. Moody undertook to "show this poor, ignorant girl, who could not live In that kind of atmosphere, tne joys of the godly life. Now keep these two pictures in your mind and ask yourself when you go home. 1n the quiet of your room, which -was the happy soul, Dwight L. Moody or the girl who had come seeking her own atmosphere? Don't you know, my friends, the whole solution of life's problem is right there. I wish I could get young people to realize it those who are down here among the husks of the world, asking, "Can't 1 do this; is there any harm in this, or any harm in that?" The very moment, my friend, you get into a certain position towards God, a certain attitude of the soul towards him. you have entered the happy, joy ous life, and all desires are gratified. Beautiful, wonderful, true! "Delight thyself In the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Mr. Moody did exactly what he want ed to' do, and the moment you come In touch with Jesus Christ you will be able to do what you want to do, be cause you will want to do what he wants you to do. That is happiness. There is nothing like it In the world. I know you do not accept, because you cannot appreciate It, but the time is coming when you are going to be weary of the mental twaddle in which you are trying to find happiness now. Let us go on further. Oh, the blessed ness. Oh, the happiness of the man! Services st 11; subject of lesson sermon, "Soul"; Sunday 6Chool. II and 12:15; Wed nesday evening meeting at s. Fourth.

Column 1.) "His leaf shall not wither." I want to ask you what Is it that makes life a withered thing. You have about three things that make life withered sin, suffering and anxiety, and in these three things there is about everything included that makes life stale and withered for man. The Psalmist says, "His leaf shall not wither.'.' Why? Not because we come with this twaddle and say: "There is no sin, ignore it," but because we come confessing our sin, and we receive that sweetest thing. God's pardon, and that settles the sin question. What about suffering? Away with your nonsense and away with foolish talk such as, "What can't be cured must be endured," or, "It is a long lane that never turns." What does the Bible say? It says that suffering is no match for the power of Jesus Christ. . Suffering is no match for the power of Jesus Christ I want you to get . it. "Therefore will I glory in my in firmity, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." Book Advised for Young People. I hope the young people will read Dr. Kellman's "The Faith of Robert Louis Stevenson." The one thing in that man's life was suffering, but the suffering was no match for the power of the Son of God. It was chronic, awful, atrocious suffering, yet calling his family around the altar he prayer like this: "Give us to awake with smiles. Give us to labor smiliijj. Give us to go blithely on our business. Help us to perform the petty rounds of Irritating concerns with laughter and kind faces." Here is a man who never saw a well day and scarcely breathed a 'breath without pain, who testified that human suffering was no match for the power of the Son of God, and was one of the happiest men who ever lived, and Robert Louis Stevenson can be multiplied perhaps a million times in the world. What about anxiety? They who have learned the secret of casting all their care upon him have no hesitancy in answering that. You have disposed of anxiety which makes life stale and withered. The godly life Is the happy life, and no man can challenge the statement- l nnd this: "The Lord knoweth ths way of righteousness." Just as he knew the way of the two going to Emmaus and walked with them and their hearts burned .as he opened to them the scriptures. Just as Enoch walked with God, and "he was not, for God took him. "The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous." and he comes In that way and walks. hand in hand with the good man. Mv days with sunshine shall be fraught, 'My eyes shall tearless be. And stormy days shall be as naught. If Christ abiae witn me. The only recipe I know of for hap piness Is a godly life, . . . ,
